THE National ICT Association (Pikom) chairman Chin Chee Seong said that plans are underway to set up the Malaysia Information Communications and Technology (ICT) Federation.

If all goes well, the federation will be established by end of next year, Chin added.

“The objective is for all the ICT related association to come together to be part of the federation, so that the industry has a bigger voice in the country,” Chin told Digital News Asia in Petaling Jaya recently.

Currently, there are several associations that are related to the tech industry – which in some ways may make the industry rather segregated.
